You have to think that a bat made from purpleheart or zebrano or

Purpleheart, at least, would surely be strong enough for a full swing at a
Randy Johnson fastball. For bunting, one would want a bat that's nearly as
"dead" as possible; cottonwood, basswood, and balsa spring to mind.

I note no mention of min/max weight -
and I'm sure there must be.

Actually, there is neither a minimum nor maximum weight, only maximum diameter
and maximum length.
